You have applied to be paid within the Construction Industry Scheme without any deductions being made on account of tax and Class 4 National Insurance contributions (NICs).

However, we are not able to grant this application for the reasons shown under the heading ‘Reasons for refusal’. Formal details and information about how to appeal against this decision follow the reasons for refusal.

You are registered to receive all payments within the Construction Industry Scheme after the contractor has made a deduction on account of tax and NICs. The current rate of deduction is \<20%>.

Before making any payments to you, each new contractor for whom you work must contact us to confirm your details and the deduction to be made. Please make sure you give each contractor your:

- name
- Unique tax reference (UTR) 99999 99999
- National Insurance number XX 99 99 99 X

If you do not give these details accurately to the contractor, they will be obliged to make deductions from your payments at a rate of \<30%>. You can show this letter to the contractor, but they will only be able to use it to take your details.

This letter does not confirm self-employed status. The correct employment status can only be determined by the terms of each contract that you enter into and it is the contractor’s responsibility to get this right.

41 For the company to be registered for gross payment, all directors and/or shareholders must have complied with their tax obligations. Unfortunately the company has failed this test, so we have to refuse gross payment status.

42 For an individual to be registered for gross payment as a partner in a firm, all the partners must have complied with their tax obligations. Unfortunately the partnership has failed this test, so we have to refuse gross payment status.

43 The calculation of your net construction turnover is incorrect. The amount based on the figures you have given us is £\<99999999999999999.99> but it should be £\<99999999999999999.99>. This figure does not meet the required threshold of £\<30,000>. For partnerships or companies the threshold should be multiplied by the number of partners or relevant persons. Alternatively if a partnership or company has a turnover in excess of £\<200,000>, the number of persons involved in the business will not be taken into consideration for the purpose of the turnover test.

44 You have not provided sufficient information on your registration form to pass the business test.
